Dr. İzzet Yıldız, one of new researcher of the SUNUM Family, will be the guest at the Nano Open Webinar on Wednesday, March 27, 2024 between 11.00-12.00 at Zoom.
İzzet Yıldız will give a talk title by "Tinkering with matter at the microscale: A walk on the MEMS and optical realms" The talk will consist of two parts. Part 1 will be oriented around nanowires and free-standing structures as microstructures, and their manipulations will be looked into. In Part 2 real use cases of simple yet powerful spectrometric analysis method will be discussed.

About Dr. İzzet Yıldız
İzzet Yıldız works as a Reseacher at the Sabanci University Nanotechnology Research and Application Centre (SUNUM). He obtained his Physics BSc degree from İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University (2008), MSc from Koç University by completing Materials Science and Engineering Programme (2010), and pursued his PhD at the multidisciplined Nanotechnology Dept. of Technical University of Denmark, graduating in 2014. His academic research mainly focused around MEMS structures, namely their design, simulation, micro-/nanofabrication and use-case scenarios.
After returning to Türkiye, he had worked as Senior Lead Engineer at the newly inaugurated, multidisciplinary Basic Sciences Group of Arçelik A.Ş. Central R&D Dept. for 6+ years, where he had the chance to take part in 25+ nationally-, internationally- and privately-funded optics-oriented projects as both project leader and researcher, and had filed 5 patents. He then transitioned to Quantag Nanotechnologies A.Ş., a subsidiary of Opet, as the Sensor Technologies Team Lead to work on the development and production of optical sensors to be used in the fuel industry. As of Fabruary 2024, İzzet Yıldız is a part of the SUNUM family.
Among his research interests are MEMS, microfabrication, finite-element analysis, optical systems, UV-visible-IR applications, spectroscopy, fluorescence, and light-matter interactions.
